Any opinions on BKT tires? I need rear tires (not for my Kubota, but for a 1972 Ford 2000). Size is 13.6/24 on 12" rims. BKT tires online through Simpletire.com or petestirestore.com are less than half the price, even with shipping, compared to my dealer's quote from Les Schwab.

Yeah I left a non-sensical response last night.......frustrated.......
Local co-op carries BTK 8x16 bias ply....requires tube......I refuse to run tubes in anything. $150+ tube and tax......$200

To get close to Goodyear R or Titan R...this-

Now, the last thing I have time for is bullshit metric conversions, particularly when having to match for 4x4....I aint' too keen on euro-shit anyway. Theses are close to 8x16 not 9.5x16 and are about $300+ shipping and I install.


So........The Goodyears are $289+ tax mounted local.......next day order/mounted. 9.5x16
Long bar, short bar..........I'll go American-

More of an example of BS euro.......this is what I would go for but probably not available here- http://www.en.working-tyres.eu/agri...es-radial/goodyear-240/70r16-dt812-104a8.html

Also note- the BTK I mentioned.......2415mm RC with equals 95.1 inches.
Gotta be careful if you are matching for 4x4. I need 101" to match the 70" RC fronts.
